I just wanted everyone to know that it is currently snowing up top. The trails have been clear of ice for a week or so. With this latest storm moving thru, I can not say it will stay that way. I will keep you posted.

we are hiking up tomorrow to spend the night. Being from Florida, we are looking forward to seeing the snow and praying we are prepared. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Oh dear me. Could it be snowing in June when I am coming to LeConte? My hip is fully rehabilitated, but I don't want to risk a fall on ice or snow.

Yo Allyson! Weather radar looks like it is still snowing at 4:00. Give us a report?

Now, now folks, it is not nice to impersonate the blogger. :) The current conditions are 31 degrees and spitting sleet. We have about 1 to 2 inches of wet, snowy mess. If you are coming up in the near future, you will want some form of ice cleats.

Ray, I think if you want to hike up Trillium, it is a great trail. Have fun and see you up top.

Heading up Thursday morning - group of 10 (4 children ranging from 7-10). How is the weather up top ? How much snow? Any concerns for the little ones based on trail conditions? We plan to come up bullshead and down rainbow. thx

@Mike: Consider UP Rainbow and DOWN Bullhead. Great Lunch stop at the falls on the way up. . .

@Ray: It might be a smidge early, but somewhen between now and mid May something beautiful blooms on the trail between Trillium Gap and Brushy Mountain. If you come up Trillium, be sure to do the short out and back to Brushy Mountain.
